TEXTURED 300g Hand roller by Kaiko
These are our brand new subtly textured twist on our original hand rollers. Made from zinc alloy, this sensory support functions as both a weighted product and fidget. The texture adds a new sensory dimension and the texture can also be used as a picking support.
It is our most recommended weight for teens and adults clinically (unless there is hand function issues for example).
It comes in a zip-up black case for great storage. Amazing for those that need to constantly keep hands busy & to assist with agitation and anxiety.
Rotate in your hand, roll between your palms or roll to massage are three great ways you can use them. To gain an idea of how they feel to use - if you have some fat textas on hand place two in the same hand, side by side, and rotate around themselves.

"The texture adds so much for me, there's added grip which feels really sturdy and satisfying when rolling it around in my hands, it's like the feel of the crunchy without the noise. It's also less cold to touch than the smooth hand rollers, which I greatly prefer. The weight is perfect. I also love rubbing my thumb up and down over it. It's like you read my mind on everything I wanted from a hand roller... it's sooo good. It's gone straight in my pocket, which means it's a top tier favourite ... Leeroy C Sept 2023"
Some like to put the metallic ones in the fridge between uses.
Also helpful for hand function & we have had great outcomes using with individuals with dementia, Parkinson's, MS and other hand function difficulties.
We get asked frequently if these are helpful for carpel tunnel. It is important to seek your treating dr/ therapists opinion, but often they can be helpful.
Hand squeeze exercises and tendon glide action are two exercises that are used for it and both are/can be emulated with the hand roller. Wrist stretch with weights is another and the hand roller can be used for that too. Generally best to keep selected weight to the lighter styles (145 or 180 gram ). You may feel a gentle pull or stretch during use. However, should stop if experiencing any pain.
